July 8th will mark one month since Steve Norwick was injured fatally in a hit-and-run crash while riding his bicycle on Petaluma Hill Road. Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition, Jill B. Nimble Bike Club, and other partners will honor Steve Norwick by holding a memorial bicycle ride on Sunday, July 8th. Details:

• The ride will begin in the parking lot at Spreckels Performing Arts Center in Rohnert Park
• We will gather at 9:30 a.m. for 10:00 a.m. departure
• There will be four routes to accommodate a range of rider ability/interest:
  

  38 mile route led by Tom Helm.  http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1393221

  SCBC ED Gary Helfrich will lead a ride (details to come) following a route Steve Norwick often followed when leading students on geology excursions

This will be a beautiful way for the bicycling community to pay our respects to Steve.

Note: The rides are unsupported. There are restrooms at Spreckels, as well as water fountains, and a snack bar with limited items for purchase. Please bring plenty of water and any snacks you might need. In addition, please carry your bike repair kit so you can fix any flats you might get. There will be people on each ride who can assist you if need be.
